Examining eye-movement behavior during visual search is an increasingly popular approach for gaining insights into the moment-to-moment processing that takes place when we look for targets in our environment. In this tutorial review, we describe a set of pitfalls and considerations that are important for researchers - both experienced and new to the field - when engaging in eye-movement and visual search experiments. We walk the reader through the research cycle of a visual search and eye-movement experiment, from choosing the right predictions, through to data collection, reporting of methodology, analytic approaches, the different dependent variables to analyze, and drawing conclusions from patterns of results. Overall, our hope is that this review can serve as a guide, a talking point, a reflection on the practices and potential problems with the current literature on this topic, and ultimately a first step towards standardizing research practices in the field.
在视觉搜索过程中观察眼球运动行为，是一种深入了解我们在环境中寻找目标时即时处理过程的日益流行的方法。在本教程综述中，我们描述了一系列对于从事眼球运动和视觉搜索实验的研究人员（包括有经验的和新加入该领域的人员）非常重要的陷阱和注意事项。我们引导读者完成一个视觉搜索和眼球运动实验的研究周期，从选择正确的预测开始，到数据收集、方法报告、分析方法、要分析的不同因变量，以及从结果模式中得出结论。总的来说，我们希望本综述可以作为一个指南、一个讨论点，对当前关于该主题的文献中的实践和潜在问题进行反思，最终成为该领域研究实践标准化的第一步。
